Emulating famous Eastern European models, the program aims at drawing kids to mathematics, preparing them for mathematical contests, introducing them to the wonders of beautiful mathematical theories, and encouraging them to undertake future careers linked with mathematics, whether as mathematicians, mathematics educators, economists, or business entrepeneurs.

Three Parallel Sessions in 2009
Berkeley Math Circle plans on splitting a number of the sessions in 2009-2010 into two groups: "BMC Beginners" and "BMC Advanced". For each of the sessions, students will be able to choose which one to attend based on their experience with math (not their year in school). Usually, students who attended Berkeley Math Circle for two or more years might consider attending "BMC Advanced". In addition to BMC Beginners and BMC Advanced, during the Fall 2009 we will have BMC Elementary for youngest students in grades 1-3. The first session will be joint for all participants and it will be on September 8th, 2009, from 6-8 in 740 Evans.
